A gripping, tense thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night







In 1980s London, Black political leaders who can straddle the racial divide are a rarity.





So when a rising Black politician, Aston Edwards, is murdered, the effects quickly ripple through Londons Afro-Caribbean community.



Then a young Black boy is arrested for his murder, surrounded by rumours of an affair with Astons wife.



Sammy Dean, journalist-turned-investigator, is determined to find the truth. When a Black activists death is written off as a suicide, Sam begins to think the two cases are linked. With tensions running high, can Sam find the truth before the city erupts?



The Late Candidate is a gritty and authentic representation of Londons multi-cultural history, wrapped up in a tense thriller.

Recenzijos

In this top-notch first novel The plot is hard-boiled, the mystery unfolding gradually rather than presenting itself full blown for solution. Phillips's dialogue and his protagonist's voice-over ruminations on everything from racial disharmony to foolishness on TV are spot-on, adding to the pleasure a fresh, transatlantic sensibility and inflection. Publishers Weekly





Praise for Mike Phillips





Could have come from the pen of the master, Raymond Chandler Today



Mr Phillips delivers quality The Times



Engaging pacy thriller Phillips prose in concise, witty and fluid TLS



Phillips gives a mean streetwise documentary edge to his heros hunt for a witness Sunday Express



Theres much here to suggest that Phillips could be one of our bravest, most incisive social commentators Mail on Sunday



Phillips depictions of urban London share more with Harlem and Los Angeles than the English drawing rooms of P.D. James and Ruth Rendell Financial Times



American readers willing to wonder a bit about unfamiliar London landmarks and neighbourhoods will be rewarded by Phillips's subtle psychological complexities and deadpan ironies Publishers Weekly
